Amendment 227· Digital Omnibus proposal Recital 27a (new)

(27a)Pseudonymised data should be presumed not to constitute personal data for an entity that has no lawful means of access to the additional information necessary for identification and no means reasonably likely to be used to identify the natural person, in line with the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. That relative approach provides legal certainty for the sharing of data for research, statistics and the development of artificial intelligence, without lowering the level of protection where identification remains reasonably likely.
